ok  - top-posting today....
Chrome has non-free plugins bundled with it like flash, to make "the
experience" really really great!!
and
Chromium is the upstream project for Chrome, but without all the
packaging etc - the plugins for chrome will typically work for
chromium too, after you install them (got it).The Chromium project
still has some problems getting included in repos, for example Fedora
doesn't have it:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Chromium

use Chromium if you can, give your non-computer savvy friends Chrome.
